Teachers demonstrate their belief that diversity is a strength, treat students as individuals, know and respect the influence of race, ethnicity, gender, and religion on a child’s development, adapt their teaching to students with special needs, and work collaboratively with the families of their students.
- Wake Forest University's Department of Education conceptual framework
According to the NCPTS, "teachers establish a respectful environment for a diverse population of students." No matter what classroom or school you step into, every child is different. I believe that we all have individual strengths and weaknesses and it is such differences which allow us to learn from one another. My job as an educator is to recognize and embrace diversity among students and use their differences to create a stronger learning environment. No matter a student's background, I have high expectations for their ability to succeed.
